Symptoms

Cause

This problem occurs when there's a complex nested Sitefinity custom membership provider integration. This causes the applications to break and raise the exception. Until now, there have been issues that are related to Sitefinity based ASP.NET web applications only, and we are not aware of any other ASP.NET applications that face similar issues.

Resolution

To fix this issue, install the Sitefinity hotfix and redeploy it:
